‘Furious’ Joel Embiid is apparently trying to find the Sixers’ Snitch

Exactly one month into the season, the Philadelphia 76ers have the worst record in the entire NBA. The team has lost five straight games and sits at 2-12 as it prepares to take on the Brooklyn Nets in the Emirates NBA Cup on Friday, yet star center Joel Embiid’s attention may be elsewhere.

Earlier this week, Embiid was called out by Tyrese Maxey in a team meeting after another Sixers loss. The contents of the meeting were leaked to the press, with Embiid then calling whoever did it a “real piece of sh–.”

And Embiid might not be done there. A source has told Jake Fisher about The Steinline that Embiid may still be trying to find “the snitch.”

So when ESPN reported details Tuesday morning, from inside the 76ers’ team meeting after Monday night’s lead blown at Miami, a league figure close to Philadelphia’s All-Star center told me, “Joel is going to be furious.” And that Embiid would try to find the Sixers’ supposed sneak.

You’d think Embiid should just let it go because almost everything gets “leaked” these days. After all, there is basketball to worry about. Plus, actually finding out who told Shams Charania that his teammates want him accountable would just lead to more awkward conversations.

On the other hand, if he’s not doing anything else, he might as well ask around.
